Edited 1 time(s), most recently on May 22 2011 11:51 AM

Nova's a groundball guy with terrible peripherals, who usually runs into problems the third time or so through the order... but the MFY bullpen is well-rested.

Pelf-- of late-- is having success pounding down and in to lefty hitters, and, oddly, has been something of a flyball guy for the last month.

Considering the locale, this all seems sort of ominous.

I meant the two singles that found holes between legs and up the middle. not exactly scorched. It's the curse of a pitcher that gets grounders but doesn't K that many. if he doesn't walk the guy (And bean Cervelli, although I approve of up and in on guys trying to bunt. ) it's not a big deal. In the end it's why he's a good but not great pitcher. Too many balls in play.

I have nothing to prove this, but I'll go to my grave believing that the Yanx specialize in that kind of topped dribbler and also in hitting balls to shitty for DPs in DP situations.

Terry had a bad inning. He had success this week leaving his pitcher's in but not today. As soon as the lead-off batter got on, he should have taken out Pelfrey. Then as soon as he beaned a .170 hitter, he had another chance. Terry wanted his pitcher to work himself out of trouble, and maybe he agreed with Ceetar about the ground balls, but I think he showed too much confidence in Pelfrey.

leadoff batter was groundbally.. you can make the case after the walk though, that was really the problem. I'm still unsure about the hit batsman.. Cervelli was supposed to be putting the bat between his face and the ball anyway someone manages to move it out of the way and get hit. bah.

I would have gone to him one batter earlier.

Jeter's grounder was achingly catchable for Pelfrey. That's a 1-2-3 DP at least as often as it's a two-run single.

But there it is. The guy gets a break and tomorrow's headline is Captain Courageous or some shit.
